I use the Leslie Sansone walking video, too, when I can't get out and walk. It does really help to keep moving with fibro. I try to walk at least a mile a day with my dog and I do a lot of walking around the house, in stores, etc. It's an exercise I can do without causing me pain. I also swim...but I float a lot too!

I use an elliptical machine, that I purchased a little over three years ago and I use it faithfully. It's good because it doesn't put any stress on joints. I also walk outside, but when I am having a bad pain day, I can still use the elliptical.Miriam

I walk/jog on the treadmill (that I got for free from Craig's list!) and I have Pilates DVDs. I love both and it's been a total answer to my fibro pain.FIBROMYALGIA - that's it!Dx @ age 50Lyrica 75 mg 3X/dayAmitriptylene 10 mgTramadol 150mg time-released 1X/day

I do Yoga stretches when I first get out of bed and also walk on my treadmill every day for no less then 30 minutes. Both things have really helped cut down my stiffness and fatigue and have also helped even out my moods and lessen my anxiety.love and hugs~danielle

I walk my dog at least a little bit every day. She is little, and I can attach a leash to my wrist or (better yet) a belt if I have one on and then to her harness (instead of her collar), so she won't pull me and get loose. If I can make it down the block and back I'm happy, and we each get a taste of fresh air and smelling new things!

I try to walk as much as I can... I would love to do yoga, but I just can't concentrate long enough to do it. At least when I'm walking I have a destination (or I won't walk) to go to and get back from.When you come to the edge of all the light you have known and are about to step out into the darkness, faith is knowing one of two things will happen; there will be something to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.

I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best. - Marilyn Monroe

My son and I walk through our local zoo 3 times a wk (takes 1.5 hrs) the 4 days I don't walk, we go swimming and I do yoga everyday. The zoo days hurt omg do they, but my daily goal is to physically exhaust myself so when I go to bed, I sleep. And most days I do.FM, costocontritis, wide spread arthritis, fibriod tumors, PTSD, 2 heart attacks at 22

I push a double stroller 4 - 5 dys a wk, about a mile. I also chase little ones M thru F. (I do day care) I am up and down the stairs several times a day. All this is enough to almost kill me! I tried the Leslie Sasone 3 mile Walk video, but, it was too painful on my hips, I had to quit. That's about it for me. I used to love exercising but as the Fibro has gotten more advanced, it takes the fun out of it. they say that exercising can make you feel better, but so far, it only hurts more. I've found that even when I am consistent and keep it up for a good length of time, my symptoms don't fade.drowsyFibromyalgia, Osteo-Arthritis, Herniated cervical discs, Raynaud's, Migraine disorder
